Thanks everyone.
Yes, I'm now a fan of Polish cars as well  :D

Here's a pic after I gave him a quick wash. Just before he passed the MOT.

I noticed you've got headlamp surround protection/cover. Did the car come with it as standard?

Has been stolen? stolen from where? What for? Why somebody could possibly be so desperate to still a headlight from a car?

No, they were stolen very often, and as it was stolen, it was a big demand, was sell strait away... I had to buy them 3 times.... try take them out with and without that plastic....

Interesting. Reminds me of a car radio story. A chap would come to your workplace offering cheap car radios with free fitting. You'd buy one. Show the chap where your car was parked. He'd fit it. Everyone is happy. Then a week or two later everyone in your workplace who bought a radio had their car broken into and radio stolen... Coincidence? I doubt it. He probably kept stealing and selling the same radios!  ???

that sounds like very good profitable business ;-)

Getting back to the topic - could you please share the information what else do you need to do in order to register the car? What do you reckon how much it will cost you - the whole registering procedure.

Went to the DVLA today. You need to show the MOT, insurance certificate, passport, proof of address, original Polish registration documents and a customs and excise VAT and duty form. The cost is £55 registration fee plus the £135 road tax. They now take 72 hours to check the documents and decide if all is ok. Ill let you know what happens :-)
